So finally this is the staircase makeover reveal, I hope you like it!!! (the occasion calls for three exclamation marks for sure)
And if you do check out the kitchen makeover and dining room reveal in our park house… more rooms to come soon! I’d love to hear what you think!
EDIT * I’ve had a lot of emails asking about the flooring we used.
I posted all about it in the living room floor installation post. Hope that helps!
If you are wondering about the blue artwork in the hall the tutorial to make that is at the link!
I’ve had a LOT of questions about the paint it is Fortress Grey in the Dutchboy line.. I used left over paint that I had from an upstairs bath. I bought the paint at Walmart a few years ago. Here is the label, they accidentally only added enough for a quart the first time, so they did it four times. How is that for confusing… but here you go!

Readers Annie and Scott sent us these photos of their staircase makeover. Here’s what they had to say about it:
Just followed directions, except no wooden spindles, spent a little more $$ and purchased wrought iron, so worth it! Very easy to install, and so elegant looking!
Beautiful transformation, you two! Definitely elegant!
Do you have a project inspired by one of our posts that you’d like to share? We’d love to see it! Let us know here.
it looks AMAZING! i love the drama added to the staircase, and love the colors you have going on- it’s so classic!
Thanks Cassie!
Beautiful! I really admire your ability to “see” things like this and make them a reality!
Nic, it was a long project but very worth it.
Brilliant! I love the way it turned out. We did a very similar sort of overhaul on our stairs (the post is actually the most visited on my blog!) and I, too, hug my newel posts! Enjoy it.
It was very fun to see every day after we finished it.
You two did amazing things with your Texas house!!! I love all the architectural detail you added and the stairs look fabulous!!
Thanks! We are in love with architectural detail. It makes such a great change.
Oh My G! That is an amazing transformation. LOVE every inch of it.
Thanks Sandra!
This is awesome!! What is the paint color on the walls? It is gorgeous!
Molly, Cassity was able to add it to the post. You can get it there. Thanks for your patients.
This is DIY?! This looks amazing!!! Absolutely gorgeous. I hope I can do this!! Love it.
Yep all DIY! And lots of time working on it. You can do it if you have the time and tools. Good luck!
I was looking at the before and after pictures and I was like wow that is amazing. I could not even tell that it was even the same house unless those before and after pictures where side by side.
Just gorgeous! You have such vision!
I love it, Cassity! We have “entryway issues” and are going to be giving our stairs a makeover this summer or fall. I’m seeing a lot of inspiration here! ♥
YAY! You will be SO happy when you do it, I am always surprised by these seemingly small projects and the difference they make in my different homes!!
This is simply stunning. I have followed all of your remodels and this is by far my favorite. You guys are top notch! Its so pretty and professional looking.
Do you miss that house? We had a similar situation where we fixed up a house, had a baby, and then missed our family that lived 12 hours away. Soon after we moved back to our home state and had to start all over again renting. So sad. I still think about all the hard work we put into that house, but we are so much happier having moved closer to our family.
Angela, thanks for the compliment. We do miss parts of that house, but we do love living close to family too.
It turned out gorgeous! Love it!
Thanks Crystal!
Thanks so much Crystal for all you feedback!!!
Your staircase is beautiful! I love the moldings. I hope you don’t mind if I copy it in my house! Thanks for the inspiration!
Copy away!!! Be sure to check out all the posts about how we did it in case you need more info!!! GOOD LUCK!
Absolutely. GORGEOUS. My sister and I have been following your staircase makeover for a while and it turned out even better than I imagined… it’s amazing. What a great job you did!!!
Dana! Sorry for SUCh a long wait, but THANK you for the awesome compliment!! We loved it while we got to enjoy it!
That came out just BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thanks so much Irene!
Holly smokes this looks beautiful! I love the dark stain and how it looks with the white. So pretty 🙂 PInning 🙂
Thank you so much Jessica! (p.s. i am loving what you guys are doing in your home too!)
Thank you! 🙂
This is amazing! How much did this cost?
Terri, All told was under $150 in monetary investment because we reused almost everything and only had to buy two new stair treads(less than $40), the newel posts (less than $60), a few misc moldings and paint etc, but it took a LOT of time!! (can’t lie to you about that!) So if you have the time and access to the right tools, then you can do it for cheap!
Love the reveal! I really like your turquoise painting on your flight of stairs. Where did u get it? Keep up the great work! Amazing!
Heather, THANKS I actually made that it is super cheap and easy to make, and it can be any color you like to match your decor… https://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/03/pieces-of-you-mosaic-pottery-barn-inspired-art/ Hope you give it a try!
What color are your wood floors? Are they solid or engineered and where did you purchase them? Thanks
April, They are an engineered Hickory from Lumber Liquidators. I talked all about them right here: https://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/04/installing-a-floating-wood-floor-living-room-update-part-6/
Awesome newel posts! Such a wonderful and lovely job.
Thank you so much! We love the new look of the staircase, it make SUCH a difference!
